“The musical equivalent of high-proof bourbon-rich in flavor, with a subtle, satisfying bite.” - Rolling Stone Country
“a warm, rustling, occasionally rocking country-soul singer-songwriter set with a reverence for lineage.” - NPR
“captures the heart of Americana with grace, subtlety and the dusky beauty of Caleb Caudle’s iconic influences. Johnny Cash would be proud.” - American Songwriter
“Caleb Caudle made his new record as if it was going to be his last, and it sounds as so; there is something grand and defining about it.” - Holler Country
Caleb and his band make their Levitt Pavilion debut, with an evening that will include songs from his most recent release Forsythia (2022), which was recorded at the legendary Cash Cabin and produced by John Carter Cash.
Recorded during the pandemic, and inspired by the solitude and symbols Caudle found in nature during that time, Forsythia is a portrait of his truest self, of the artist at his most reflective. Thematically, it meets anticipation for the unknown future with nostalgia for the past, and reconciles both with meditation in the present.
The album features veteran session players Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Dennis Crouch and Fred Eltringham, and the vocal talents of Carlene Carter, Elizabeth Cook and Sarah Peasall McGuffey. Simplistic arrangements– in which Caudle was the only guitarist– built a framework for space that is filled intentionally so that the songs themselves can be heard and appreciated without an overcrowding of instrumentation. On this record, outsider influences come into play nearly as much as his foundational knowledge of traditional Appalachian folk and other music history. This collection of 10 songs serves as a manifesto of Caudle’s beliefs and simplest desires. Forsythia sees Caudle as a master of his craft as a songwriter and musician.
